Catch&Release

Catch&Release is a UGC creator platform and content-licensing marketplace that helps brands and agencies discover, license, and clear rights for "found content" — real videos, photos, and footage created by everyday people and creators — for use in advertising and marketing campaigns. Its workspace lets marketing teams search and curate licensable moments, send content calls to its creator community, negotiate offers, and handle the legal clearance and rights packages, while creators earn passive income by licensing clips from their camera rolls. The platform pairs a brand/agency workspace (collections, storyboards, teams) with a creator community, using an access-first, pay-for-what-you-use model. Added to the API Evangelist network from an Accel portfolio lead.

Catch&Release is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cloud Saas, Content Licensing, User Generated Content, and Creator Economy.

Catch&Release’s developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 13 more developer resources.

  detail: Catch&Release ships only an end-user web application — its 415-URL sitemap contains zero developer or API pages,
    its own GitHub organization (github.com/CatchRelease, 35 public repos) contains no OpenAPI or Swagger file, and every
    path on the product host app.catchandrelease.com returns HTTP 302 to a FusionAuth login, while the terms of use prohibit
    automated access outright.
